Madame Alexander Happy Meal toys have been very popular promotions for McDonald's. Doll collectors and children seem to adore the miniaturized Alexander dolls. This year the Madame Alexander toys are all based on the successful Wizard of Oz line. This will undoubtedly be a hugely popular promotion for both Alexander doll and Oz lovers. Thanks to Karen Owens, Kelly Pepin, Valerie Dunaway, Jim Whitcomb, Laurae Kozlik, and Deb Dwyer for breaking the news and regularly updating about these adorable little dolls. Teamwork and networking is after all one of the major themes of both the Oz novel and the MGM film. And now here's a first look at the first ever McDonald's Wizard of Oz Happy Meal toys. Coming to a McDonald's near you starting March 23.(don't forget to click on the picture to enlarge it.)

I apologize for the low quality of this picture. I will post a better one when and if I'm able. This looks like another must have for the Oz collection and it's been a long time coming. It was first announced in 2004 and is finally shipping to collectors now.

About Me

I've been an Oz collector for 20 years now. I love collecting and I love talking with other collectors. I mostly collect Dorothy and Toto, sometimes ruby slippers, but I do buy sets on occasion. My very favorite things to collect are Dorothy dolls. I have over 100 in my collection right now. :) I also love figurines, teddy bears and ornaments. Just about anything Dorothy and Toto.
